Most of y’all know that I am pulling strongly for Dan Patrick to win the Republican run-off for Lt. Governor because while David Dewhurst is mean and hateful, Dan Patrick is just plain goofy.

So, here I sit in a dilemma.  If I discover something that Dan Patrick has done that will cause the goofy branch of the GOP, as opposed to the mean branch, to like him more, should I just shuddup about it?

This is tough.  I mean it involves what might be under the table money and reporting to the government, so breaking statutes like that might make Dewhurst MORE popular with goofy Republicans.

Oh hell, let’s risk it.  Click the little one to get the big one.

So the Express Scripts PAC reported getting a refund of a contribution it made to Dewhurst.  Only problem – the PAC never reported making the contribution in the first place.

Magic money?  You be the judge.

Lufkin is the heart of East Texas, except it doesn’t have a heart.

It does, however, have an underwear thief.  Someone is breaking into houses and stealing women’s underwear.

The incident marks at least the 17th burglary in the area in which women’s and girls’ underwear has been taken.

The burglaries have occurred over the past couple years and remain unsolved. The case has law enforcement frustrated and warning residents to remain on alert.

Lufkin Police are handling the Tuesday burglary that they say almost was not reported at all. The residents decided to call police early Wednesday to report the break-in.

Verdelia says there are far too many weird people in East Texas already and now she has to worry about perverts on top of all that crazy political stuff.  She swears she’ll keep her windows rolled up, doors locked, and air conditioner off when she drives through East Texas on her way to gamble in Louisiana.  “First, they want my uterus and now my bloomers,” she laments.

The National Rifle Association was putting on a program at the Steel City Gun Club in Pennsylvania.

A New Jersey man attending the program shot himself in the leg.

Apparently, not on purpose.
